An Inquiry into the Brain, Learning and Teaching Practice: Strategies & Applications for Consideration.
Can research from the field of neuroscience really inform educational practices?
This workshop embraces the best of what neuro-studies have brought to bear on educational possibilities. It specifically targets the question: "How do I frame existing lessons/activities so that all learners become engaged in learning?" The goals are to engage all learners simultaneously; to cause learners to do the work (processing) of learning; and to create multiple connections with respect to the important ideas being taught. Multiple strategies overlapping brain research and educational best practices are explored for next day or next unit application.
